Annoying Things People do in Drive-thrus

[Dreamstalker]

I like McD's BBQ sauce for my burgers and my fries. Call me funny. It tastes good.

<threadjack> I adore BBQ and honey-mustard sauce for my fries. Never tried it on burgers...hmmm, something new to try if I go to Wendy's tomorrow.</threadjack>

That sounds like some crap my stepfather would always try to pull...

Being an avowed ketchup hater, I am big on alternative sauces for fries, the few times I actually get fries. Keep in mind, I am talking outside of fast food, as I virtually never eat fast food anymore. (I went to Checker's last week, and I think that may have well been the first fast food I have eaten in 2006.) I am big on barbecue sauce and honey mustard on fries, I have eaten them with mustard, I have eaten them with mayonnaise, and a coworker recently got me hooked on fries with Old Bay Seasoning. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it!

Ketchup? Y'all can keep that nasty stuff! Blech!

This is freakin' hilarious!

Okay, I hate to double post like this, but I just came across this hilarious video of these guys doing something rather unique in a drive thru, and I thought y'all would get a kick out of it! Enjoy!

I have a friend who lives in that area. I will ask her. Since the Amish tend to keep to themselves AND don't usually bother with modern conveniences (and I would imagine fast food would not fall into their old-fashioned rustic lifestyle), I would think not, but who knows?

I've seen rails for tying the horses to at local fast food places (I'm in Lancaster, PA). Of course, they may be gone now, I try not to eat fast food if I can!

I DO admire all the people my friends and I have probably given at least a "huh" moment to. Only a few have ever even asked why in the world we're dressed in full Jedi and Sith garb, right down to the lightsabers. The other patrons in the place, though? They move away from our tables for some reason. Go figure!

Did I mention I broke up with him?

Yea, but you did not saw what happened to him afterwards, is he in a mental hospital, in jail, in a shallow grave in the woods??? You arn't giving us details here. I wana see some karma in action.

I gotta agree with you on all everything except the one part about leaving a dead fly in someone's drink. That's just stooping to his level IMO.

I agree, that's really disgusting. I hope I've never been to your drive thru when you worked in one . . .

Why? Would she have done something to your order?

See - that's good, clean fun. I live for stuff like that to break up my day. Those MCD's workers are gonna be talking about that for awhile.

There was a funny TV ad awhile back where these people were ordering from a drive through and the voice on the speaker was really crackly and garbled. When they pulled up to the window, the guy in the car told the employee "you should do something about that speaker". The employee then replied in a crackly garbled voice: "We'll look into that". Good stuff.

Fortunately I've been spared working drive-through but for people who I have I must inquire: Do people actually try to WALK through them from time to time?

I can remember one time I was out at the bar with some friends, and we were a little toasted, and our ride was 15 minutes away. So, we decided we were hungry, and there was a Burger King right across the street. No one could drive, right, and it was drive-thru only at that time of night, so we figured, what the hell?

I had already known that walk-up customers are prohibited at just about every drive-thru, but the beer was telling me that they would make an exception, I guess.

We get a few that have walked their dogs to the drugstore, and I'd rather they do that than tie the poor little guys up by the front door to get pestered by everyone coming in and out.

My drivethrough only has a little drawer to access the outside, no large windows for people to try and climb into. However, there was a memo a few years ago that advised us all to remember that the glass at the window is only bullet resistant, not bullet proof, so to take proper precautions if needed ....

Proper Precautions meaning: DUCK!

Oh god, okay... Since I come here on a fairly regular basis I have to come clean.

- In high school I'd sometimes go through the McDonald's drive-thru with a power rangers mask on, my friends wearing other power rangers masks and a batman mask from wal mart. We'd order in german or russian accents.

- All night lan parties. The one i go to has a tradition of duct taping people who fall asleep. Sometimes we'd duct tape them to pallets/carts and write "Big Mac Machine" or something on them and take them through the drive thru on foot. The locals are so used to it and get such a huge kick out of it that they end up serving us anyway (lan party time = big business weekend for them).

When I was in High School, I played soccer, and we always stopped at a McD's for dinner on the way home from away games. One night, three of the girls on the team decided to be funny and try to go through the drive thru on foot. They stood there jumping in front of the ordering panel trying to get the sensor or camera or whatever to notice them and alert the employee inside that they wanted to order.

8). People who sit there saying, "uh, uh, uh, I don't know what I want. Wait. Um, um, uhhhhh..." for a long time.

9). People coming through smelling strongly of pot. That made me sick at my stomach.

Well.. uh.. #9 I may have been guilty of quite a few times - hence why I go through the drive thru, I don't want to stink the place up.

If they don't know what they want, GO INSIDE AND READ THE DAMN MENU. My roommates are the worst at this - we have 1 car between the 3 of us, and I'll pull up and they're like.. *deer in headlights*. Heaven forbid I suggest we go in since we're holding up the line - I've gotten to where once they say what they want, I order it and that's it, even though they've changed their mind a few times by the time the drive thru person comes over the speaker. Tough luck guys, I'm not holding up the line anymore. Want to hold up the line? GET YOUR OWN CAR!!

As for the loud trucks... I shut off my bone stock 2001 Honda Accord 4 cylinder at drive thrus, why can't the trucks? Besides, why idle and waste gas in the drive thru? Just shut the damn thing off and save 50 cents while you bicker with the cashier over 2 cents.
